That extra weight slows first paint, blocks rendering, and shows up in PageSpeed as unused CSS and unused JavaScript. **Unloadly** stops those files from loading in the first place. Edit a page, tick a plugin, and its frontend CSS and JS stay off that URL. You do not copy script handles. You do not minify. You do not fight a cache plugin. Use it next to any cache plugin. Unloadly removes the files; the cache plugin serves what is left. Flush or regenerate the page cache after you change Unloadly rules. #### Features * **Per-page plugin unload** — In the editor sidebar, tick plugins whose CSS and JS should not load on that page. Search the list when you have many plugins. * **Sitewide CSS and JS dequeue** — On Settings Unloadly, list style or script handles once. Matching files are removed on the entire frontend. * **Head link cleanup** — Optionally remove oEmbed, REST API, and RSD discovery tags from `wp_head`. * **Quick sanity check** — View the page source and search for the plugin folder name. If the name is gone, those files were likely not printed. This is a hint, not a full audit. * **Safe by design** — PHP still runs. Only matching frontend CSS and JS are dequeued. Core jQuery stays loaded. * **Lightweight** — No cache, no minify, no delay-JS. One job: do not print unused assets. * **Developer hooks** — Filters and actions are prefixed with `unloadly_`. See ` includes/Hook.php`. #### How it works 1. Edit a page or post. In the Unloadly box, tick plugins that are not needed on that URL (for example WooCommerce on an About page, or a contact form plugin off the contact page). 2. Update the page. Those plugins’ CSS and JS are dequeued on the frontend for that URL only. 3. Optional: open **Settings Unloadly** to dequeue CSS or JS handles sitewide, and to strip discovery links from the document head. #### Typical stacks Unloadly unloads assets by plugin folder and by script/style handle. It is meant to sit beside the tools you already use, not replace them. * **WooCommerce** — Unload shop CSS and JS on pages that are not the shop, cart, or checkout. * **Elementor and Divi** — Unload builder CSS and JS on pages that do not use the builder. Leave them loaded on pages that do. Unloadly does not strip assets on Elementor editor or preview requests, so the canvas keeps its files. * **Page cache** — Change Unloadly rules, then flush the cache so visitors get the new HTML. Do not tick a plugin on a URL that actually needs it. #### Who it is for Site owners who already cache and still see “Reduce unused JavaScript” or “Reduce unused CSS”. Agencies that want a checkbox per plugin instead of a full asset scanner. Unloadly is not a replacement for a cache or CSS minifier. #### Hooks Developers can change post types, protected plugins, protected handles, and the disabled list for a request. Hook names are prefixed with `unloadly_`. See `includes/ Hook.php`. #### Support Plugin page: [https://versouq.com/unloadly-disable-unused-css-js/](https://versouq.com/unloadly-disable-unused-css-js/). Email **support@versouq.com**.

Upload the `unloadly` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate Unloadly through the Plugins screen. 3. Open Settings > Unloadly for sitewide options. 4. Edit a page or post and use the Unloadly box to disable plugin assets for that URL. 5. If you use a page cache, flush it after you change rules. ## FAQ ### Does this replace a caching plugin? No. Unloadly only removes selected CSS and JS from the page output. Use it with any page cache, and flush that cache after you change Unloadly rules. ### Will this disable a plugin completely? No. PHP still runs. Only matching frontend CSS and JS are dequeued. ### Can I keep a plugin’s assets on some pages? Yes. Per-page rules are stored on that page or post. Sitewide handle lists apply everywhere. ### Does it work with WooCommerce, Elementor, or Divi? Yes. Tick those plugins only on pages that do not use them. Leave WooCommerce loaded on shop, cart, and checkout. Leave Elementor or Divi loaded on pages built with them. ### How do I check that a plugin’s CSS and JS were unloaded? View the page source and search for the plugin folder name (the directory under ` wp-content/plugins`). If the name is gone, those files were probably not printed. That is a quick sanity check, not a complete audit. Some plugins load from a CDN, print inline code, or use handles with no folder path, so the name might be missing even when other code from that plugin is still on the page. ### Where can I get support?
